    Correct Answer
    specimen
    sample

    A science word for something we might look at closely is a specimen or a sample. In scientific research, scientists often examine specimens or samples under a microscope to study their characteristics, analyze their composition, or observe any changes or abnormalities. These terms are commonly used in various scientific fields, such as biology, chemistry, and geology, to refer to the objects or substances that are being observed or analyzed in detail.

    Which statement is true? - ProProfs

    Which statement is true?

    • This Bunsen burner has the safety flame

    • This Bunsen burner has the heating flame

    • This Bunsen burner has the cooking flame

    Correct Answer
    A. This Bunsen burner has the heating flame
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "This Bunsen burner has the heating flame" because a Bunsen burner typically has two types of flames - a safety flame and a heating flame. The safety flame is a small, non-luminous blue flame used when the burner is not in use or when a low heat is required. The heating flame, on the other hand, is a larger, luminous blue flame used for heating purposes. Therefore, if the Bunsen burner is being used for heating, it would have the heating flame.
